Dinner with granny is a bang!

Katherine Heigl wants to see what her grandma thinks about her taking a new job as a bounty hunter to track down her ex-boyfriend in One for the Money.

She's cute, she's tough, but she has terrible luck with men. Oh, yeah, and she just lost her job, too.

Down on her luck, but not giving up her spunk, Katherine Heigl decides she's got to take One for the Money when she accepts a job as a bounty hunter... assigned to tracking down her ex-boyfriend. Is there any better job?

Let the chase begin!

Fast becoming the poster child of adorable romantic comedies, Heigl is known for her great sense of comedic timing and adorable smile. She's played strong female characters in the past in films like The Ugly Truth, Knocked Up and Life as We Know It. But for One for the Money, Heigl received a new skill to add to her long list of talents when she picked up a gun as bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.

Assigned to the job of tracking down her ex-boyfriend, played by the sexy Jason O'Mara of Life on Mars and Terra Nova fame, Heigl's character will earn a $50,000 bounty commission if she can put her feelings aside and nab this outlaw before he skips town.

What does her family think about their daughter becoming a bounty hunter? They think she needs a husband a lot more than she needs a job. And grandma, well... she's more than a little outspoken, especially when she gets her hands on Stephanie's new gun.

In this exclusive clip of Katherine Heigl's new romantic comedy with a little bit of action and a whole lot of funny, grandma comes to turkey dinner with a pistol in hand. The question is, does she know how to pack that much heat?

One for the Money is based off the popular book by Janet Evanovich about female bounty hunter Stephanie Plum and releases in theaters Jan. 27.
